Mercedes knew it needed to score three points more than Ferrari at the São Paulo Grand Prix to secure its first constructors’ title in five years.

During the celebrations, team principal Toto Wolff told Viaplay that the real success lay in how Mercedes came through its difficult years: reinventing itself, keeping everyone in the team and fighting back.

Wolff said the recent years had not been fantastic, but that, looking back in ten years, Mercedes could not be called “total losers” after finishing second and third.
